That being said, there’s been many who’ve tried to reincarnate the legendary spring break festival and failed and now comes another with plans to cash in on ‘Freaknik 2016’ over the Labor Day weekend.

Promoter Danny Hefner has taken on the task of reviving ‘Freaknik’ in the new millennium and he tells the AJC, that he’s expecting people from ‘all over the country.’

I’m getting calls from people asking if it’s for real. It is real.

For the record, Hefner didn’t get to experience any of the original Freakniks (he’s only 20) he’s heard stories and apparently his mom was an avid ‘Freakniker’ back in the day.

Hefner and his fellow promoters think bringing back ‘Freaknik’ for a new generation would be a good idea.

“This is going to be wild, fun, just like parties used to be,” he said. “We’re expecting thousands of people.”

Freaknik has been held at various parts of the city in the past (i.e. Washington Park, Mosely Park, Decatur, Piedmont) but it was the traffic tie-ups in downtown Atlanta that finally caused its demise.

It’s just Daytona Beach or Panama City inside Atlanta city limits. Too many people, too much alcohol and drugs. Property damage, looting and lewd displays. If they want it, set it up at some stadium/open property OUTSIDE of the city.

Tierra Michelle be careful this weekend in the A…they’re bringing Freaknik back, plus it’s Labor Day weekend, plus some game going on that weekend, plus people from the Low Country are expected to head that way to avoid the storms expected to hit the coast. Sis Charlie NY’s Finest Davis you be careful out there too.
